Hey everyone! So I'm finally booking a trip to Seoul and I want to make it count. I'm thinking about doing some aesthetic consultations and treatments while I'm there, but honestly I have no idea which neighborhoods are actually best for this stuff. I keep seeing Gangnam and Apgujeong mentioned everywhere online, but I'm not sure if that's just hype or if they're genuinely where most of the clinics are?

Also, where did you guys end up staying during your beauty trips? I'm trying to figure out if I should be close to the clinic area or if Seoul's transportation makes it easy to get around no matter where you are. I've heard the subway is amazing, but I don't want to be exhausted traveling if I'm recovery from anything.

And real talk — are there other neighborhoods worth exploring for this? I'd love to feel like I'm actually experiencing the city and not just being tourist-y the whole time. Any tips from fellow foreigners who've done this would be so helpful!
